20120098381STATOR, BRUSHLESS MOTOR, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME - An inner rotor type brushless motor includes a stator. The stator is made of a plurality of stator sections. Each one of the stator sections has a plurality of core members, an insulator, and a winding wound on the core members via the insulator. The core member includes a yoke portion and a tooth portion. The insulator includes a ring portion to connect the core members. Since each stator section can provide sufficient distance and space between two core members on the same stator section, it is easy to wind the winding on the tooth portions. The stator sections can be assembled along an axial direction to form the stator. The yoke portions are circumferentially arranged to connect each other to form a magnetic path.04-26-2012

20120083957CONTROL APPARATUS FOR MOTOR-ASSISTED BICYCLE - A control apparatus for a motor-assisted bicycle detects a pedaling torque applied to a crankshaft with a pedaling force sensor, controls a motor unit in a regenerative control process to charge a battery if the torque value of the detected pedaling torque is equal to or smaller than a predetermined level, and controls the motor unit in an assistive control process if the torque value is greater than the predetermined level. The control apparatus controls the motor unit in the regenerative control process at a crankshaft angular position in which the torque value detected by the pedaling force sensor is equal to or smaller than the predetermined level, and switches from the regenerative control process to the assistive control process for controlling the motor unit at a crankshaft angular position in which the torque value detected by the pedaling force sensor becomes higher than the predetermined level.04-05-2012
